Mumbai, Oct 6 (NationPress) Renowned megastar Amitabh Bachchan has voiced his admiration for homemakers, urging women to take pride in their roles, asserting that managing a home is no simple feat.

On his blog, Bachchan reflected on his experiences during the quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati”, noting that when he inquired about the professions of women in the audience, many would respond meekly, identifying themselves as “homemakers.”

“Yada kada jab KBC pe kisi mahila se, jo ki audience mein baithi hain, main poochhta hoon ki aap kya kar rahi hain, to ve bade dabe swar mein kehti hain ki main homemaker hoon!!(Sometimes, when I ask a woman sitting in the audience at KBC, 'What do you do?', she replies in a low, hesitant voice that 'I’m a homemaker!')

Encouraging them to speak with confidence, Bachchan stated, “Kyun, kyun aisa kehti hain dabe swar mein? (Why? Why does she say it in such a subdued tone?)”

He emphasized that they should never diminish their voices and should declare their identity as homemakers with pride.

“Nahi!! Aap dabe swar mein kabhi bhi na kahen! (No!! You should never say it in a low voice!) Garv se kahiye ki aap ek HOMEMAKER hain (Say it with pride — you are a HOMEMAKER)” he expressed.

Bachchan underscored the truth that managing a home is no easy task.

“Ghar ko sambhalna koi aasan kaam nahi hota! (Managing a home is no easy task!)” he affirmed.

“Ghar ko dekhna, pati ki dekhbhal karna, bachchon ko dekhna, bhojan sabke liye banana – jitne bhi upar ke kaam hote hain sab dekhna. Ye koi aasan kaam nahi hota!! (Looking after the household, taking care of the husband, looking after the children, cooking meals for everyone, managing every little and big thing — none of this is easy!!)” he elaborated.

The legendary actor recalled how the Covid pandemic made men recognize the extensive work their wives perform at home.

He noted: “Covid ke samay sab purushon ko pata chal gaya ki patni kitna kuch sambhalti hai ghar mein, jab swayam saara kaam jo ab tak patni dekhti thi, unhe khud dekhna pada!! (During the Covid times, all men realized how much their wives actually handle at home — when they themselves had to do all the work that their wives had been managing till then!!)”

Bachchan concluded: “Time to get set for work.. early morning call.. And my love and appreciation for all the Well Wishers at the GOJ.. Your continued love and affection is beyond description..!”
